In 2005 the foundation held an international competition for the design of an FLA Learning Centre at Seveso. The site chosen was an interspace used for parking between the Town Hall and the railway station.The terms of the competition called for a building of 2000 square metres on three levels. The uses were: spaces for conferences, displays and exhibitions on the ground floor; the branch offices of local authorities and the foundation on the first floor; a library and a media library on the second floor. In 2006, out of forty participants coming from a number of European countries, the jury named Giuseppe Marinoni the winner. His project was chosen for the way it delineated the traits of the identity of the new institution using the means of contemporary architecture – placing itself as an urban icon among Seveso’s other modern monuments like the Villa Bianca and the Town Hall.
